I am an enthusiastic, engaging and passionate teacher who loves to support young people make progress. I began my career as a teaching assistant in Manchester before training to teach. Since then, I have worked in Manchester and West Norfolk, progressing to Head of Department and Assistant Headteacher. I have taught a broad range of History and Ancient History at KS3, GCSE and A Level, and also have experience teaching KS3 Geography, GCSE Religious Studies and A Level Politics. I am well-placed to support you in terms of source analysis, writing short-answers and extended writing, your understanding of topics and knowledge recall.

I am taking a break from the classroom to fulfil my personal ambition of learning French, and it’s important to me that I continue my passion of working with young people while I am studying. In addition to my years of experience in the classroom, I have current experience of what it’s like to learn and find concepts challenging!

My A Levels were in History, English Literature and English Language, and I have an AS in Government and Politics. My undergraduate degree was in History and Classical Civilisation, and I have a Master’s degree in Medieval Studies (History).
